Whether your dream is to become a CEO, a teacher, or a mother, the definition of success is personal to all, and we definitely benefit by being around women who are living it out already.
To be honest, it can be hard to celebrate another women’s success, instead of feeling inspired we can often feel inadequate or even jealous, I’ve been there! However, by embracing their achievements, we can let their stories become models for our own successes.
Seeing as its International Women’s Day #IWD2023, I thought it would be the perfect time to celebrate the achievements of so many women throughout the world who have inspired the SLBPR team…. Who by the way are led by a pretty kick-ass woman Sharon Brigden.
Sharon admires…
Debbie Harry, Dame Viv Westwood and Dolly Parton… “are all women who are bold, brash, and haven’t compromised who they are. They’ve also all made it in a man’s world! I
My Girl Gang… “who completely rock my world - my mum, my baby girls, Eva and Mia, my girlfriends and my SLBPR team for their constant creativity, fab ideas and ability to make me belly laugh!”
Laura’s inspirational women are:
Kris Jenner… “love her or hate her, she’s an unstoppable force. From sex tapes and socks to billionaires…. She’s a f**king fabulous businesswoman.
Paris Hilton… “She’s just an icon!”
The women who have inspired Katherine are:
Tina Turner… “is my spirit animal. The freedom she has in showing her emotions. She is smart, she is a business-woman and she is as sexy as hell! Her strength in getting up time and time again and always doing it in style, is so inspiring to me!”
Kate Moss… “she doesn’t care what you or I think, and I admire that so much. She is her, she does what she does… never complain, never explain!”
I’d like to recognise these two pretty incredible women:
Martha Graham… is the mother of modern dance and considered to be the most important dancer of the century! She moved against the grain, disregarded traditions and persevered despite seemingly overwhelming obstacles. Her approach to dance revolutionised the art form and her techniques are still taught across the world today… Yaaas Queen!
MJ Rodriguez… made history as the first transgender woman to win a Golden Globe in 2022! I loved the hit TV drama Pose… even though I unashamedly cried during most episodes! It features the largest cast of LGBTQ actors ever for a scripted series and MJ’s performance is utterly magical. She is paving the way for so many…. And I am so here for it!
By celebrating International Women’s Day we can forge a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination… there’s still work to be done team, but together we will get there.
